Don't you think it's sad to rely on a belief (Darwinism), that was started by someone that had absolutely no PhD in any kind of science, including biology? He was just a scientist wannabe, that studied earthworms for over 30 yrs. and stared at finches beaks a lot. Someone should've check out his mental state before allowing him to board the Beagle (or was that the U.S.S. Minnow?).

Don't you think it's sad to follow a belief (religion) that was created by old men 4,000 years ago out of superstitious belief and hasn't evolved to accept the modern world? And worse, DENIES science DESPITE all supporting evidence?

Actually, Dawin studied to be a Parson at Christ's College in Cambridge, and had completed all his coursework. He declined to take holy orders, though, choosing instead to go on the Beagle with captain Robert FitzRoy.

And isn't it interesting that whenever anyone with a degree criticizes Christianity, then the degree is meaningless, but whenever someone without a degree criticizes the faith, then their criticism is irrelevant because they don't have a degree?

Darwin was aboard the Beagle to keep the captain from killing himself. Seriously. Apparently, the last voyage the ship went on, the captain killed himself. Fearing the same fate, the new captain wanted someone smart to keep him company.

But it doesn't matter whether or not you have a doctorate. No one says that alternating current isn't a valid scientific topic just because Tesla wasn't a doctor. He was kind of crazy, true, but it wouldn't matter if he thought that he was the underwear queen of lollipop land so long as his actual work could be tested.

Gregor Mendel: Augustinian priest who stared at pea plants a lot and is now recognised as the first person to recognise genetic traits and is referred to as the 'father of modern genetics'. Had no training or what we might call scientific knowledge, but he did have a brain and he wasn't afraid to use it. Amazing what gifted amateurs can come up with.

George Smith deciphered the Mesopotamian saga of Gilgamesh when nobody else could. He didn't go to high school or college. Whether or not Darwin was formally educated or crazy wouldn't take away from his accomplishments. It's not like his shit has been wrong all this time and only upon discovery of his lack of education that we decide to throw all his shit aside. The truth stands alone.
